ORIGINAL: Syssa Pilot

Ordered mine,#5 on Jan 9. Recieved it on Jan 12. Good service I think .


Wow, wish I had that many.

Did you set your spark plug gap to .025 like someone on here recommended? They said it made the low end carb adjusment less sensitive.
 
I just set the gap on my engine today, but I didn't get a chance to try it out. It was set to .018 before. Hope it works.

Status: offline 		I've made that suggestion before (setting the plug to .025), but usually it would be in reference to mid range burbling? Sounds like a bunch of BS, but it's pretty effective! That said, cleaning up the idle with that move might be a bonus? Opening the gap up is about helping the plug to run cleaner in a rich environment - which pretty well describes how most of my gassers are set on the idle at least!

Iridium plugs, well that's their specialty - cleaning up a rich idle. That's about all they're good for, so many don't like spending the money on them just to help handle that.

Status: offline 		For what it's worth, I've been experimenting with different props. The 18x6 Vess and Xoar work really well. An 18x10 wood prop like the top-flite or Menz is too much and will cause the engine to over heat especially in a cowled application. Plus the static thrust goes down along with the rpm. BUT, I have the Biella 18x10 carbon prop on an RC Guys Cessna 150 and it is perfect. I fly that thing like a sport plane, throwing it all over the sky, great big loops, slow rolls, stall turns and snaps. It slows down so much on landing that I have to use 1/4 throttle until I'm just about on the ground. Chief Aircraft sells them for about $38. A little pricey, but at least for this particular airframe is well worth it.

Status: offline 		I've gone all the way to .030 and it works well. In fact, I got an engine back from Todd, and no matter what I did, it wouldn't start. Pulled the plug and thought it looked like it was a little tight. Gapped it to .030 and it started on the first flip. I think the spark plug gap must be more critical to this engine than it is maybe for other engines. Has anyone done any testing with different gaps? If not, I may set up one of my engines on the test stand and run it with different plugs and gaps and see if anything turns up.

Temp was 71 degrees and very light winds. Really good day for late January even though it was 41 degrees for my first flight today. Got in several great flights. Didn't notice any difference in the engine performance with the plug gap at .025. Did not need to make any carb adjustments. The engine ran perfectly, so will keep the gap there since I tend to run mine a little rich.

Lets see here it is sunny and light winds, and was -6 at 10am! NO flying for me today!! BUMMER!!!

Pictures of my setup are in my gallery. I started off with a servo to move the nyrod, but now I just operate it manually. It is spring loaded to the off position. Since I use the prop rocking method to draw fuel with the choke on I haven't found it necessary to have it lock in an on position. It only takes 6 to 8 rocks of the prop to choke the engine.

Status: offline 		Wow, Texas in March, you may need to put 10 or 20 pounds of lead ballast in your Extra to keep it from blowing away. If you get to the Fort Worth area, stop by the Greater Southwest RC club, we have a nice grass field that is mowed like a putting green. May have a few bumps left from the hogs digging it up, but we try to keep them smoothed out.

Status: offline 		Steve,
Thanks - putting greens? Wow, sounds wonderful - you keep those armadillos out? but we will still be rolling south to the area around Temple. I have flown at the nice paved runway near Austin - and of course, the Temple Aero Modelers. Hope to get a few days of calm weather, if not I will just enjoy the warm :-)

There seems to be a plethora RC fields and flying opportunities in Texas, lots of undeveloped flat space-

Paul

I just used a flexible control rod out the bottom, ran through a piece of fuel tubing wrapped with safety wire so it stays where it is set.

Status: offline 		I got fancy with my push (pull) rod. It has a "J" bend on the end of it. I use that hook to kind of "hang" it on the cowl when I want to close the choke. Unintended bonus is the fact it generally comes unhooked as soon as the engine starts (!) - thus making it an automatic choke? Gotta love it! Often the setup allows for one or 2 flip starts from cold. -Al

The message service fills up pretty quick when its empty so I imagine others are trying to contact them aswell. Has anyone recieved any engines from them? Are the V2 engines even out yet? I "orderd" a V2 engine, tone inserts, cdi mount, drill tool and m3 pin drive. It's been 4 months, I'm really starting to wonder Thanks guys for any info.
